7 Money Habits to End Marriage Stress

Send us Fan MailMoney pressure has a way of sneaking into a marriage and turning simple conversations into fights. We open up about our early years—over $100k in debt, sleepless nights, and two very different backgrounds—and share the seven habits that helped us replace anxiety with unity. This is a practical, faith-filled roadmap: one shared plan, a zero-based budget, the 10-10-80 priority rule, and margin that lets you breathe. We talk through sinking funds for “predictable surprises,” why we moved from “his and her” money to “our” money, and how a simple solo spend limit protects trust without micromanaging.You’ll hear how ditching personal credit cards and learning from wise friends changed our trajectory, plus how the debt snowball gave us momentum and milestone wins. Most importantly, we anchor every step in stewardship and Scripture—seeing money as God’s, not ours, and expecting favor, wisdom, and creative ideas rather than quick windfalls. We walk through passages like Deuteronomy 8:18, Malachi 3, and Proverbs 3 to ground financial choices in covenant, not fear. Good success means more than income; it’s peace in your home, clarity in your plan, and alignment with purpose.If money fights are draining your relationship, this conversation offers simple tools and a hopeful path forward. Listen to learn how to budget together, build margin, set boundaries, and turn debt into a shared mission. Then share the episode with a friend who needs encouragement, subscribe for more faith-forward marriage and money insights, and leave a review with the first habit you’ll start today.GET THE BETTER MARRIAGE BOOTCAMP HERE:Better Marriage Bootcamp (kenandtabatha.com)Better Marriage 90-Day Devotional:90 Day Better Marriage Devotional - Ken and Tabatha (square.site)DOWNLOAD THE FAMILY MEETING OUTLINE HERE ⬇️https://www.kenandtabatha.com/pl/2148103888📍 Join us in Florida at Alive Church — with campuses in Orlando, Tampa & Gainesville.🎟 And don’t miss Alive Conference coming soon — 3 days that can change the next 30 years of your life!https://redeemedevents.com/event-details/1875Support Our Ministry: https://myalivechurch.org/giveConnect with us:- Website:https://www.kenclaytor.comhttps://www.tabathaclaytor.comhttps://www.myalivechurch.org- Socials:Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/kenclaytor/https://www.instagram.com/tabathaclaytor/https://www.instagram.com/myalivechurch/TikTok-@Ken_Claytor@Tabathaclaytor@myalivechurchFacebook-https://www.facebook.com/PastorKenClaytorhttps://www.facebook.com/pastortabathaclaytorhttps://www.facebook.com/myalivechurch- Ask us questions: i...
